Comment. Lazy creation of a page (would be an insult to call this an article) and, frankly, an embarrassment to this project. I wonder if the article creator will put even the slightest effort into turning this into a useful article? As it stands, this barely surpasses the threshold to save it from an A7 speedy deletion. But not by much. Reso lute 01:27, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep - Meets criterion 1 of NHOCKEY, with Pettersson having played two games in the Swedish Hockey League, universally considered to be one of the highest-level leagues in the world. I have seen plenty of stubs in a far more deplorable state than this one, and the short length of the article does not justify its deletion. --Hockeyben ^{(talk -} ^contribs) 03:15, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep - per NHOCKEY criterion 1. Could however need an expansion.--BabbaQ (talk) 13:19, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I agree with Resolute's assessment, but from the earliest notability criteria set forth on Wikipedia for athletes, playing so much as a single game for a top-level, top-ranked professional sports league has been considered sufficient evidence for notability. If the nom is ignorant of the NSPORTS criteria as well as the requirements of WP:BEFORE -- as the several other now-withdrawn AfDs he made suggests -- he shouldn't be making AfD nominations until such time as he is.
